## Frequently asked questions

### What is a corporate training academy?

A corporate training academy, or corporate university, is an internal function that plans and delivers learning for employees in line with the company's strategy. It usually has a defined curriculum, internal and external trainers, governance, and measurement. It helps growing companies build skills consistently instead of relying on scattered one-off training.

### How do you set up a corporate university?

Start with the business strategy and the capabilities it needs. Then define the academy's vision, operating model and governance, design role-based curricula, build internal trainers, choose delivery formats, and set up measurement. Launch with a few pilot programs and scale in stages. Bodhih supports each of these steps with your team.

### When should a company set up an internal training academy?

Common signals include rapid hiring, repeated requests for the same training, inconsistent onboarding across teams, and a growing training budget without clear results. Many companies start an academy once headcount and training volume make a structured approach more cost-effective than ad-hoc programs. The right time depends on growth plans.

### How long does it take to set up a training academy?

A basic academy with strategy, governance and a first set of programs can take a few months. Building a full curriculum, trained internal faculty and measurement systems takes longer and usually happens in phases. Bodhih agrees stages and milestones with you based on your size, ambition and budget.

### Can internal employees become trainers in the academy?

Yes, and it is often the most sustainable model. Subject matter experts understand the business and the culture. Bodhih's Train the Trainer certification, ranked among the global top 7 in its market by Technavio, prepares them to design and deliver sessions, while external trainers can cover specialist topics. A mix of both usually works well.
